The growth of science, not merely of
physical science, but of all science,
means the demonstration of order and
natural causation among phenomena
which had not previously been brought
under those conceptions. Nobody who
is acquainted with the progress of sci
entific thinking in every department of
human knowledge, in the course of the
last two. centuries, will be disposed to
deny that immense provinces have been
added to the realm of science. or to
doubt that the next two centuries
will be witnesses of vastly
greater annexation More particu-
larly in the region of the physi-
ology of the nervous system is it justifi-
able to conclude from the progress that
has been made in analysing the rela-

'littIe hatchet." and the debris was quickly
cleared away, and landing secured for the

The Old Dominion Club gave an excur-
sion after the races, on the steamer w. w.
Corcoran, to Marshall Hall, where the
prizes, the French cup :" the second prize
cup-the one held by the Old Dominions
for the past two years-and number of
beautiful gold medals for each member Of
the winning crews, were presented to the
victors in nest and appropriate speech by
Morgan H. Beach, esq, his remarks being
loudly applauded. When the second prize
cup was presented to the University School
crew, of Petersburg, hearty shout went
up from all present. After the presentation
dancing was begun and kept up until about
u o'clock, when the party returned home,
all delighted with the days festivities.
The Richmond Wig of to-day says of the
race:
Several Richmond parties who returned
last night explain the defeat of the Rich
mond crew thuswise: When tho Virginia
Boat Club voted for Alexandra, the Old
Dominion Club, of Alexandria, through
their representative. promised them smooth
water, saying there were three courses, ole
of which would certainly be smooth water;
but since the crew had been in Aleyandria
they had, on account OF the extreme rough.
ness of the water, only been able to get one
good pull, and that not entirely satisfactory.
The course at tho race was, if anything,
rougher than it had been any day for the
past week, and fearing that it would be
dangerous to go out in such water, letting
alone the fact that TO row the race under
such circumstances would not be true test
of the merits of tho respective crews, the
Virginia Boat Club served n written protest
as follows:
Tho Virginia Boat Club do hereby protest
against pulling in the gig race of the State Asso-
citation and the outsiders race on the grounds
that the course is in no fit condition to launch
boat or to test the merits of the different crews.
Signed RANDOLPH PEYToN, Capt.
"Ths was served Oh the referee of the
State Association races and the referee of
the outsiders races.
1.-THE crew entered the race under this
protest.
1.-THE Virginias had very narrow and
shallow boat, which they had rowed in for
Two previous years, had been found safe
and true enough in reasonably rough water,
but not in white cap waves and stiff easterly
winds, such as they had to confront yester-
day. The boats of the two competing crews
were each four inches broader and deeper,
and therefore could live on this very rough
water"
The above is incorrect as far as the cond.
ton of the water is concerned. The
wind, it is true, was fresh throughout the
day, but it Gained down considerably before
the State race came of, and none of the
other crews objected to the rouGhncss Of the
water, the pIucky Petersburg crew rather
enjoying it, Every boat entered, even the
single shells, went safely over the couse.
1t is universally conceded that the AleXan-
dria crew could easily have beaten the
Richmond crew in any water.
